Amsterdam hosted 98 of these meetings in 2009, placing it in the ten most popular cities to hold a conference for the year. A recent example of a large, international conference held in Amsterdam was the World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT) which took place from 25 to 27 May, 2010 and welcomed delegates from over 90 countries.

Amsterdam ranks high as a popular destination to hold international meetings as the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area offers a wide variety of accommodation and venues entertainment and expertise.
Venues include the spacious Amsterdam RAI Convention Centre, the architectural milestone, Beurs van Berlage, and the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam, located on the river. Whatever your preferred location, you are always just a stone's throw away from the vibrant city centre as well as the international airport.
